  • Title: Surgical access to jejunal veins for local thrombolysis and stent placement in portal vein thrombosis.
    Author: Schellhammer F, am Esch JS, Hammerschlag S, Knoefel WT, Fürst G.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 2008 Jul; 31 Suppl 2():S185-7. PubMed ID: 17926089.
    Abstract:
    Portal vein thrombosis is an infrequent entity, which may cause high morbidity and mortality. We report a case of portal vein thrombosis due to benign stenosis following partial pancreatoduodenectomy with segmental replacement of the portal vein by a Gore-tex graft. Using a surgical access to jenunal veins, local thrombolysis, mechanical fragmentation of thrombus, and stent placement were successfully performed.
